The aim of the study was investigate preventive effects thiopental and propofol as anesthetics on ischemia‐reperfusion injury. Methods: Forty male Wistar Albino rats were randomly assigned four groups 10 each. During 5 h, anesthesia induced maintained with in 1 2 3 4. Groups 4 received left ischemia (torsion) during h reperfusion (detorsion) h. (control groups)...

Background: The aim of the present study was to investigate underlying mechanisms in preventive effects intravenous anesthetics on testicular ischemia–reperfusion injury. Methods: Forty male Wistar Albino rats were randomly assigned four groups 10 each. Anesthesia induced and maintained with thiopental 1 2 propofol 3 4. Groups 4 received left ischemia (torsion) for h reperfusion (detorsion) 24 h. (control groups) had no torsion detorsion. At reperfusion, animals killed ipsilateral testes...

Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between obesity and lower urinary tract symptoms prostate volume in patients who underwent biopsies. Materials Methods: Between December 2008 November 2009, transrectal ultrasound-guided biopsy performed on had elevated prostate-specific antigen levels or abnormal digital rectal examination findings. A total 211 were included study. Prostate volumes, International Symptom Score (IPSS) values, patient's height weight all recorded...

Aim: URS is a very commonly used procedure for treatment of ureter stones. Increased hydrostatic pressure in the collecting system linked to fluids during may cause harmful effects on kidney. The aim this study determine whether has negative effect kidney by investigating NGAL, KIM-1, FABP and Cys C levels urine. Material Methods: This included 30 patients undergoing ureterorenoscopy (URS) Urine samples were collected 5 times; before (control) at 1, 3, 12 hours following procedure. FBAP...

Various pharmacological agents have been used to try and elucidate the pathophysiology of ischaemia necrosis flaps. Their most important disadvantage is need for relatively high doses given systemically, which increases risk potential side effects. Topical or local are more useful. Sildenafil citrate, specific inhibitor cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP)-specific phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE 5) was studied as an antianginal drug during late 1980s, but now its effect on erectile function...

Open partial nephrectomy is an effective and safe alternative treatment modality to radical for small renal tumors. Many techniques that use hemostatic agents have been described provide hemostasis during this procedure. Ankaferd BloodStopper® (ABS) a unique folkloric medicinal plant extract has used historically in Turkish traditional medicine as agent. ABS therapeutic potential manage hemorrhage agent should be investigated clinical trials. In the present case, we evaluated effectiveness...

The aim of the present study was to evaluate effects phosphodiesterase 5 inhibitors on renal tubular apoptosis and also expressions endothelial inducible nitric oxide synthases (eNOS iNOS) in ipsilateral kidney after partial unilateral ureteral obstruction (PUUO) a rat model. Forty Wistar albino rats were divided into five groups. In Groups 1-4, left experimental PUUO created. Sildenafil, vardenafil, tadalafil administrated 2-4, respectively. pills orally given for 30 days. Group defined as...
